All the British accents. And this video about best practices for cutting open a pomegranate!
This past week I was in London at a television conference with
. We have a couple projects that we are crafting and we won’t rest until we’ve puzzle pieced them into being! You can bring your own puzzle to the group (that’s actually my dream to consult on random creative projects!) as long as you bring a tiny bowl of pomegranates to share, which are incidentally the topping on every breakfast bowl at London’s famous Pret A Manger food shops. Who’s cutting up all those pomegranates? I must know!
Docs to take my 22,000 steps around London. Nat was springing along beside me in Hokas, which frankly, irritated me. Me dragging my legs to make them lift the weight of all…that…sole. Nat jumping beside me like a bunny.
Everything. On an eight-hour plane ride, you can watch so many things. Two episodes of the thriller Full Circle written by Ed Solomon, who I have gotten to know over a zoom writing community.
Two episodes of Platonic. (I’m a fan of Rose Byrne and her Aussie accent.)
And Simple Comme Sylvain, a Quebecois story with interesting melodramatic tones signalled by a moody piano soundtrack.
Back in Toronto, I have now spent a week in my office and I’m officially experiencing people withdrawal. London withdrawal. The neighbourhood I live in feels like a small town compared to downtown London.
On to regular things: Violet has been asked to play Mary in the church pageant which she feels is the boring role. Her cousin is the narrator.
and I think her son Frankie should play Mary and Violet be the narrator.
He really would.
Frankie would make a killer Mary. Just saying.
